going to the ER is the most expensive type of medical care and people going there because they don't have insurance is one of the reasons our collective health care costs increase.
as to "free" health care clinics. I would like you to list the available free clinics that you think are in such abundance. even if they do exist, there are far too few for all who need them.

Actually, the reason for our insurance increasing is because since Obamacare, we have to pay for services that we do not require. We also have to pay for those that can stay on their parent's policy until they are 26yo. We also have to pay because doctors have to pay up to or exceeding a quarter million bucks a year for malpractice insurance. We also have to pay because doctors must perform many tests that we may not need, based solely on worrying about malpractice suits against them if they don't. WE also have to pay because we cannot shop over state borders. AND we also have to pay for "pre-existing" enrollees. And don't worry because this administration has no intention of eliminating the "pre-existing" feature.
My premiums have risen EVERY year since I have had insurance. Not due to any particular administration. But now, some wish to increase everyone's taxes so that we can reduce the quality of the majority of insured so that everyone can have a reduced quality health care. It won't be just the rich paying. It will be EVERY earner that will sacrifice greatly. Anyone ever try living on half of your pay check earnings? Get ready for it, because that is the way every socialized medicine country is paying for universal health care. And only the rich will be able to pay for the quality we have now.
